Andrew Lahiff was a really good find!He have released quite many albums.

Fans of Thom Brennan, steve roach and vir unis should like this.

Absolutely agreeŚ*criminally* underrated (and underrecognized) composer. I'd been keeping up with him, but wasn't aware he had released so many new recordings in the past year or so...just went ahead and purchased his most recent 5 as CDs for only $7 each, which is a steal, and more than worth it. All of his work courts deep atmospheric ambient drift, with forays into 'classic' space music as well. Most recommended.

greetings from Slovakia!!! I totally agree with all previous lines, Andrew Lahiff is absolutely underrated artist, who deserves much more attention from us. I have no idea why his CDs were not released officially by some label, this remains a mystery to me, but maybe this is Andrew's decision to make it this way. Anyway, his 10 CDs are available through Audiolife.com, highly recommended and yes, 7,00 USD per CD is a steal!!! I just ordered last two "Shapes In Clouds" and "Cosmic Archeology", but I had quite big problems with Audiolife's online ordering system. I did my two orders by e-mailing their Customer Service. Did any of you had the same troubles when using their online ordering system? Their Customer Service and Tech Team tried to fix it, but it never worked in my case. Anyway, the music of Andrew Lahiff was a really nice discovery for me too!!! Enjoy his soundworlds too!!!

Apparently there's a sudden groundswell of people discovering Andrew! I only caught on to him lately, too, and will be looking into more of his stuff. I put one of his tracks from "Shapes in Clouds" on my upcoming podcast.

I think...samples..might often give a wrong impression...Als I Notice the samples on the webside are very low quality... Just as his last.fm album , I did email him about it... cause 128kbps sounds like crap... Hopefully he will upload to http://www.archive.org/

Actually the best way to perceive ambient music for me is always in an dark room, in bed with closed eyes... at least for me..this puts me in a different world. You do not get the same deep experience when you are multi-tasking in front of the computer.

"Tracing Memories of the Silent Earth, Shapes in Clouds and Cosmic Archeology are now available from archive.org as 320 kbps MP3s. A collection of tracks known as Emerging Signals from 2006 are also now available as 320 kbps MP3"

I had earlier posted a note regarding my recent dealings w/Audiolife, the disc manufacturing 'company' who publish Andrew Lahiff's CDs. My complaint was the fact I did not receive my order, and all communication to Audiolife went unacknowledged.

Turns out that today, I *finally* received the order in question (after a nearly 30 day wait, and they supposedly operate out of California), and advised Andrew accordingly, but I would still approach using their services with caution.

Regardless, I'm glad to have Andrew's new releases in my possession, and look forward to investigating them further.
